Manual vs. Automatic Transmission in Motorcycles

1/1/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture
​Motorcycles have been a part of many world cultures. They are also known as bikes, choppers, scooters, enduros, etc. In Asia, you can see motorcycles all over the road in various designs, colors, and purposes. Motorcycle culture in the west borders more on the freedom it offers whenever you ride it. It is also symbolic, as most motorcycle subcultures usually relate the size and form of a motorcycle with sexuality, potency, and power. 

There are two major classifications for motorcycles according to driving conditions: automatic and manual transmission. Each class has its advantages and disadvantages. Let us look further and compare which one’s better.
Automatic Transmission Motorcycles
These are modern bikes that have a transmission that automatically shifts gears whenever the driver operates it. It has sophisticated mechanics fit for the modern rider.

Manual Transmission Motorcycles
These are “old school” choppers that have that classic transmission that allows its rider to change gears manually. The rider gets to choose how fast should he or she goes, by clamping the clutch, while slowly pumping the accelerator. The mechanics are not as sophisticated as an automatic transmission, but it works almost the same. 

Pros and Cons

  • Fuel Consumption
    Experienced automatic drivers say that the inefficiency in fuel consumption comes from over-revving the bike by novice drivers. Once they have learned the techniques of properly handling it, fuel use won’t be an issue anymore. Yet according to studies, manual motorcycles are still more fuel-efficient by 10% compared to automatics.

  • Speed and Acceleration
    Automatics usually take time shifting gears, although modern high-tech automatic transmission these days work like artificial intelligence. Still, manual motorcycles are a perfect choice if you want fast bikes.

  • Dependability
    Fixing a manual transmission is simpler compared to automatics.

  • Road Traffic 
    An automatic scooter is a perfect choice for such conditions. The ability of the gears to shift automatically without operating and balancing the clutch and the accelerator is great for traffic. Even drivers who are just starting to learn to ride would find it to their advantage!

Comparing manuals with automatics are like choosing between apples and oranges. With these points laid out, it would be easier for a would-be rider to choose which enduro to get.

I appreciate you pointing out that automated transmissions often shift gears slowly, despite the fact that today's high-tech automatic transmissions function much like artificial intelligence. Driving in my uncle's automobile causes it to seem shaky. I'll request that my uncle send his automobile to the automatic transmission service.
